Cloud Administration

As companies move to the cloud at ever growing rates, the demand for well-skilled cloud professionals continues to increase. With the diversity of existing cloud solutions, companies are looking for people to fill a broad range of skills; from competencies like automation of their deployments and workloads to understanding how to best manage security and compliance. This program will start you down the path of understanding the cloud and to set up Azure virtual machines, networks, and app services; automate workloads and deployment; and manage storage, identity, databases, security, and compliance.

DevOps

To support companies in their desire to be more agile, the lines between development and operations are becoming increasingly blurred. Through continuous integration and deployment, you will learn how to react to changing market conditions. In a world where your audience taste can change on a dime, ensure audience happiness by learning about application monitoring and feedback loops.
